Anon, I honestly wouldn't put that much stock into an online social life, especially if you have a good one irl. Interactions online are really different and can be harder to navigate, nastier, more juvenile, etc. because it's harder to get to know people and people are more removed from the consequences of what they say. I come here to chat and have fun, but I've made very few close friends over the internet, because it's hard to make and maintain the kind of connection I'm looking for online, and while I spend a lot of time online it's not all spent being social and it's not the only thing that I do.

Also, I hope you can get/are getting help for your depression. That shit sucks, but it can and does get better. :) *hugs*

i definitely agree with online friends being hard to maintain. especially if you become more invested in the friendship than they are.

i thought i had an awesome online "clique". we talked almost every day for two years, became very close, discussed our lives and our problems, exchanged phone numbers (this was back in the day before msn and social media), etc.

then one day one of them left for university, then another left because they got promoted and had no more time for online fandom, then the rest slowly just disappeared without explanation. it disturbed me to think that they could just up and leave, while i was left alone and wondering why nobody else was as invested in "our group" as i was. sometimes i miss them. but it also made me realize that i much prefer IRL friendships, if only because i find it much easier to keep in touch with someone i can actually see in the flesh.
